We recently teamed up with the good folks at IoT Evolution to reach out to and get some perspective from IoT professionals across the board about the IoT-related trends and challenges they had observed in 2016. In our latest issue of The Connected Conversation, we present the key insights we gleaned, how they have defined IoT’s current state of industry, and what that could mean for the IoT community in 2017. We also discuss the hottest IoT use cases and vertical market applications are and how different, major IoT industry players fared this past year.
